random lunch hack
It's a video deposition/complaint/feedback/confession/booth. The complaint was slow video framerate.
after testing device & network throughput with VNC & streaming, we fixed it by UNINSTALLING the webcam drivers.
it was some fancy new thing, and wasn't allowing us to explicitly set the resolution at a driver level.
so we removed the driver, and the most basic windows driver did a 320x240 stream.
then we installed a different/older driver for the same camera, and got it up closer to 640x480 at at least 25 fps.
problem solved.
what amateurs put this thing together ? ? so goofy and complicated: mac mini running xp two cpu when only one needed single Linux box more reliable and cheaper... furthermore, they developed on quad core with firewire; and installed with two seperate mac & pcs both running xp & vista with a webcam. They obviously didn't leave time to debug on-site, after changing platforms for install.
and did i mention it's in windows ?
Amateurs !!
heaven forbid they were paid.
